Nature's Vitamin E Shield
Mixed tocopherols are a family of vitamin E compounds naturally found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. In our bars, they serve as a natural preservative — protecting the healthy fats in almonds and walnuts from oxidation — while also delivering vitamin E's potent antioxidant benefits to your body.
Here's what Mixed Tocopherols brings to every VitalForge bar
Protects the healthy fats in nuts and seeds from going rancid through oxidation — extending shelf life naturally, without synthetic preservatives.
A powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that protects cell membranes from oxidative damage, supporting skin, eye, and immune health.
Vitamin E plays a key role in immune function, particularly in supporting T-cell mediated immune responses and reducing oxidative stress on immune cells.
Replaces artificial preservatives like BHT and BHA — allowing us to claim 'No Added Preservatives' while still ensuring freshness and quality.
Tocopherol literally means 'to bear offspring' in Greek (from tokos = birth, phero = to carry). It was discovered in 1922 when scientists found that rats needed it for reproduction — it was originally called 'the fertility vitamin.'
The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University notes that vitamin E is the primary fat-soluble antioxidant in the body, with research supporting its role in preventing chronic diseases related to oxidative stress.
